Trivia:
Sydney Lassick reprises his memorable role of the instable but good-hearted inmate of a mental institution that he played in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), here as Chuck Forsch, then as Charley Cheswick. Notably, he's the fourth and last actor who played an inmate in Milos Forman's movie who performed in "X-files" too, after Brad Dourif, Vincent Schiavelli and Michael Berryman. more

Elegy is a decent episode about people seeing apparitions of dead people right as they die. What makes this episode extra special though, is the overt mythology of Scully's cancer woven into the storyline. I like it anytime an episode attempts to explore more into Mulder and Scully's relationship with each other. First of all, I like the smile Scully gives when Mulder bowls the strike. It's like he's trying to impress her, and she almost appears to be turned on by it. It's quite a mysterious grin. In the least, she is impressed. Where the story really takes off is when Scully sees a ghost herself and the written words "She is me". She doesn't tell Mulder immediately, but instead, goes and sees an FBI psychologist. Scully is not ready to admit to Mulder that she may have seen something "paranormal", especially when the vision may be related to her own mortality. Mulder's mini-speech to Scully at the end is touching and speaks the truth about all relationships. Kudos to John Shiban for developing Mulder and Scully's relationship a little bit more and writing a decent murder mystery to boot.
